Now for the interesting part, Automaton Toys has reported that the inner flaps of the Chronicle boxes reveal pictures of possible future Chronicle sets. CH-01 Optimus Prime reveals the aforementioned Bumblebee set, a set containing G1/DOTM Ratchet, and a G1/DOTM Ironhide set. CH-02 Megatron reveals a G1/DOTM Starscream set and...................... a G1/DOTM Shockwave set.

For the moment these sets can only be considered rumors, as Takara has remained tight lipped about future Chronicle releases. Could fans finally be on the verge of a long awaited G1 Shockwave reissue? Time will tell.

Since my parents won't let me get a gun (megatron. Yeah, they're uptight >_<) I've been planning to make Shockwave leader of my decepticons, courtesy of the comics. So this G1/DOTM Shockwave might be the key

how old are you? i'm sorry to hear that. parent's can be a drag sometimes.

i wouldn't mind picking up G1 shockwave.. i'd also be interested to see what the dotm paint scheme would look like.

i think at this point however, i'd like the see a leader shockwave and megatron.

I have a real minty G1 Shockwave so i don't really need one of these but it is great news cause i guy could be tempted if it's the right price. Plus for everyone who can't afford or find one that's in good shape this is a much needed release, no doubt. I'm not much for reissues but i can get behind this one. Everybody needs a Shockwave in their collection and G1 is the definitive version.

I am updating my profile now. I grow tired of answering that. (15)

Eh, when I get enough money, and get older, I will buy Megatron, and nothing can stop me! *Megatron's Evil Laugh*

Not as bad as your parents not letting you play any form of Call of Duty. Or any other M-rated games, but strangely they'll let me play Halo. Strange indeed...

I might try to pick up the other chronicles toys. Will defiantly get Shockwave, probably will never buy the Bumblebee though. The only Bumblebee I have ever wanted is the Cyber-fire one and I am still looking for it. I have 3 BB's from the first movie and I didn't buy any of them... very interesting birthday party...

Admittedly that was 25 years ago and I did end up getting Megatron...even if I had to wait nearly 20 years! So hang in there, you'll get him eventually!

I remember my mom banning me from watching GI Joe or having any in the house cause she said it would turn me into a "war monger" and violent but let me watch Tour of Duty, A Team and hardcore war gore movies like Hamburger Hill. Which was pretty violent for the time. Anyhow.......pardon my little interruption. Carry on

Ironhide and ratchet? both are same in terms of mass is G1... and ratchet's a deluxe and ironhide's a voyager in DOTM... maybe Takara's using the movie-1 voyager ratchet to standardize the prices of all the chronicles figs? then they would have to pair leader bb to the g1 one

I really want a shockwave, but i already own the regular hasbro one, and ot even shiny paint is worth paying $100 for. Why cant shockwave be encore... please let an encore shockwave be released

Ever tried buying a nerf?

Yep, and they'll let me get that

Tell your parents you want to join the NRA

Guns dont kill people. People kill people with guns.

Oh my God, I know where that came from! That American Dad episode where Stan takes Haley to that gun-inspired amusement park.

I have a feeling that this is not an indication. While it would be tremendously awesome, I just don't feel like those flaps were an indication of future releases. A Shockwave set would be absolutely awesome though. Odd that Soundwave wasn't on the 4th flap for Megatron. If those flaps are indications of future releases, Soundwave would've been a really cool set as well ... but still odd that they omitted him either way. Four Autobots, four Decepticons.

Shockwave has always been my favorite TF bar none; I asked for him as a kid but received Soundwave instead (oh, you wacky parents - not that I'm complaining, Soundwave was and is a great, fun figure) and never owned him up until a few years back when I paid about 300 on EBay for a MIB, with both gun and hose in flawless condition. I also bought the absolutely amazing KO that came out last year, and highly recommend it.

I don't particularly need another, really, but it'd be nice to have an 'official' Shockers to put up on display. Plus it'd be the first time I actually bought an official Shockwave from a retailer.

I hope the rumors are true ,with that said !!! What G1 BB would they (TAKARA/TOMY) give with the set ??I can't see them doing the 84 one ,unless the movie version would be a Legend Class !! Just wondering .

Thinking about it, and I might also pick up Starscream and Bumblebee. I mean, I already have G2 Bumblebee, but his legs are crap. And Starscream could be a nice edition to my Decepticon Build-Up. I'll take Shockwave, Starscream, and Bumblebee please
